The Paddy Wagon
Okay – I know it looks like they are locked up in paddy wagons… and in a way they are. My two darling Yorkies are a noisy mess when walking them in Florida vacation neighborhood. So, I’m finally embarrassed enough that I lock them up, cart them away from the neighborhood and walk them where nobody knows us.
How bad are they, you ask? Well, they bark at anyone who is also taking a walk and stops to chat . They bark at anyone who is also walking their own dog – even if that dog isn’t the least bit interested in us. They bark at ( and want to chase) any birds they see and here in Florida most of the birds are bigger than my dogs. And they really go crazy barking at anyone riding a bike. I will say though they do not bark at any of the cats in the neighborhood . They do stop with feet planted solidly to the ground and eye them up very curiously however. So for being so little – Tootsie is 7 pounds and Daisy is 11 pounds – they make up for it in attitude.
Thus I had to resort to the paddy wagon ride to a barkless walk in no man’s land . For me its , now, a nice peaceful walk and to them – well, they now love to go ” for a ride” and a walk.
The may look innocent but don’t let them fool you!!
